Join us for an unforgettable evening where innovative creativity, technology, and social justice meet.
Our Fall AfroFuturism Gala, themed "A Future Without Incarceration", is not just an event; it's a movement. It's a call to reimagine a brighter, more equitable future communities of color. Let’s create a space where we encourage one another to think beyond traditional boundaries and envision a world free of the system built to support mass incarceration.
Emergent Works interrupts the prison cycle by creating pathways into high-paying tech jobs for formerly incarcerated people. We are a nonprofit software company that trains and employs formerly incarcerated folks.
Join us in the movement to fight the tragedies of mass incarceration.
